(perhaps it wasn't retrieved in binary mode, which I'd have actually considered unlikely/impossible from Sun's server.) I may have missed something, but since you mentioned an ubuntu-box: why not just install package sun-java6-* ?

Well the answer is YES it does! Thanks to Andrew talking about Chrome, I installed Chrome but couldn't get it to recognise that I had Java installed. A bit of googling revealed that I should be installing the JRE using the Ubuntu packages system instead of by doing what it says to do on the Sun website namely download and manually install their file. Amazingly after installing the package everything now works including the original complex applet in Firefox and Chrome! Very happy little carnivorous marsupial now :-) -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour(a)gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]

You mean as listed in the Synaptic Package Manager? Basically because I am an idiot! My previous attempt to get Java using the SPM resulted in my getting the Open JDK (of which, I could do a lot of swearing). Might try that route later. Thanks. -- Andrew T. pscode.org

Your follow-up emails had me convinced you had sorted the problem. Could you repeat your findings here, with a little more detail? -- Andrew T. pscode.org |
